Naira Exchange Rate Today — The Nigerian naira traded relatively stable against major foreign currencies on Thursday despite continued pressure in the foreign exchange market. The gap between the official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) rate and the parallel market rate remained relatively narrow as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) continued its foreign exchange reforms.
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin and other major digital assets maintained positive momentum as investors sought alternative investment opportunities amid global economic uncertainty. Nigeria remains one of Africa’s leading cryptocurrency markets, with growing adoption of digital assets and stablecoins.
